The alien and sedition acts were passed in a. 1797 c. 1812 b. 1804 d. 1798

The correct answer is D.

The Alien and Sedition Acts were passed by the Federalist Congress in 1798 and signed into law by President John Adams.

They made it harder for an alien to become a citizen, and they included new powers to deport foreigners and making it more difficult for new immigrants to vote. Previously, a new immigrant would have to reside in the United States for five years before becoming eligible to vote, a new law raised this to 14 years. This increase applied also to the requirements for American citizenship.

The Bill of Rights protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly and the freedom of petition.
